Art Exhibition 2022Next month we will return to the Orangery and our Exhibition. I cannot wait. As a welcome back we are planning some special additions to our normal presentation, which will provide a lift to the exhibition as well as complementing the art. I am delighted to announce our Feature Artist for this year is Annie Leach, a contemporary botanical artist who has been exhibiting with The Friends for many years. Annie’s work is often bright and bold. Some of her paintings simply demonstrate the beauty of flowers, fruit, berries and plants, while others explore patterns created by petal leaves and shadows. I know you will enjoy the presentation. If you have been thinking about entering, do it, there is still time. All artists please remember to have your exhibition forms submitted by FRIDAY MARCH 4TH. We hope that you will support The Friends of Holland Park by visiting our exhibition during the nine days in the Orangery, Saturday 2nd to Sunday 10th April. Tell your family, friends and neighbours to come along. See you in the Orangery. Gordon French [Spring 2022] |

WELCOME BACK!I am delighted to introduce The Friends of Holland Park Annual Art Exhibition 2022. If you know any painter, sculptor or craftsperson, please encourage them to join The Friends and enter the art exhibition. It is an excellent opportunity to display work, gain followers and perhaps make a sale: in my view a win-win situation. Let us, the artists, support one other, do anything you can to promote the exhibition and to generate more sales and revenue for the fantastic green space of Holland Park. Now, go through your work and please enter next year’s exhibition. Good luck. The conditions of entry are as before: Friends who are artists and artists who become Friends are invited to exhibit up to ten works: two framed works to hang on the walls, and up to eight unframed works for display in the portfolio browser stands, these with a maximum size of 70cm x 100cm (including card mounts, but no wooden mounts, please). Friends are also invited to exhibit up to ten three-dimensional objects such as ceramics, glassware and small sculptures, or enter the mini-mart of small works on offer at £40 and under, which includes cards and craft items. The minimum sale price for works in the main exhibition will be £50. Friends interested in exhibiting in the art exhibition, the mini-mart or both, need to register by completing the order form and pay £10 entry fee. REGISTRATION OPENS 18TH NOVEMBER. Artists who have registered for the main exhibition may include works in the mini-mart at no additional cost.

Art ExhibitionWe have all endured an extremely challenging year. It is now time for us to look forward. It is clear from the scientists, and with the continuing vaccination roll out, that the future is looking brighter, and at some point we will return to a new normality; sadly not in time for us to hold this year’s art exhibition. From a personal perspective, creativity has been a real gift during these unsettling times, and I believe that culture and the arts will be a driving force back to a more normal way of life. The Orangery is booked for 2nd-10th April 2022, and we know that there is a very promising future for the tradition of our exhibition to continue and flourish. I will sign off with one of my paintings of Holland Park in spring. IT WILL RETURN. Also a small selection of images from past exhibitions for you all to enjoy revisiting. Stay safe and continue to be creative.
